November 08, 2013 by hellomagazine.comSay HELLO! to these celebrity twins you may or may not have known about, from Made in Chelsea's Rosie Fortescue and her sister Lily, to Brad Pitt and Angelina's adorable twins

Ashton and Michael have always been close, with the Just Married star looking out for his fraternal twin brother since they were children. Michael, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, had a heart transplant when he was 13.

"Ashton never left my side," Michael told People, reflecting on the time. "He showed me the love one brother has for another."

Scarlett and her younger brother Hunter, who was born three minutes after her, appeared in the 1996 film Manny & Lo together. While Scarlett has made a name for herself in Hollywood, Hunter pursued a career in politics and was a campaign organiser for Barack Obama.

The on-screen stars are best known for their hit show Sister, Sister but the child stars now have their own reality show, Tia & Tamera. In one episode, the pretty twins go to the doctors to find out if they are in fact identical twins, and not fraternal ones.

"I'm afraid it's going to say, 'You're not identical,' and that thought really scares me," said Tia on the show. "I would feel like my life was a lie."

The Dance With Me Tonight singer shot to fame as a contestant on The X Factor, and later as a co-presenter of The Xtra Factor. Olly's stardom hasn't had the best effect on his relationship with Ben though.

The show's runner-up missed Ben's wedding so he could perform on the show.

"What hurt was that he never even told me himself he wasn't going to be able to be my best man," said Ben.
